Essential Questions:
How can you use the strategy, use a formula, to solve problems involving surface area.

Standards

CC.6.G.4 Students will solve real-world and mathematical problems involving surface area.

Objectives

Students will find the surface area of a prism.
Students will find the surface area of a pyramid.

Assessment
Product

Students will use a formula to calculate surface area of a prism.
Students will use a formula to calculate surface area of a pyramid.

Key Questions

How can you use formulas of surface area to solve real-world problems?

Observable Behaviors

Students will construct models and nets of three-dimensional figures. They are expected to use the net to calculate the surface area.
Students will use proper mathematical techniques to represent three-dimensional using nets to find the surface area of the nets.

Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in
solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Vocabulary

Math
